The single action trigger pull on my 1895 Nagant is heavier than the double action pull on most of my other revolvers. The double action pull is probably 25 lbs. All of this gains maybe 20fps. Plus you have to use special ammo, if you ever see 7.62 x 38mm rounds the bullet is actually crimped inside the case. The mouth gets blown open to seal with the chamber and barrel on firing. Which means it takes alot of force to pop out the fired case, and it doesn't have a very good ejector rod to begin with.
The 1895 Nagant is a super cool collectible, but it's probably the worst mechanically sound service pistol ever. I say mechanically sound only because of the Kenju T-94 and Glisenti 1910.
